[h=1]NEW: Father of missing Tequesta teen wants name dismissed from lawsuit[/h]

JUPITER — The father of one Tequesta teenager lost at sea in July 2015 is asking that his name be removed from a wrongful death lawsuit filed in July by the family of the other teen.

Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, both 14, disappeared July 24, 2015, after taking a 19-foot boat into a fierce offshore storm.

William “Blu” Stephanos, Austin’s father, is one of four people named in the court action. The others are Austin’s mother, Carly Black, his grandfather, Richard Kuntz, and his stepfather, Richard “Bubba” Black.

Stephanos wants to be “dismissed from this case as he did nothing wrong, he was not in charge of the boys and he had never seen the boat,” according to court documents.
The Cohen lawsuit alleges that Stephanos is responsible, in part, for Cohen’s death because he failed to notify authorities after learning that the boys were missing and then “delayed” the search “in the most critical moments” by conducting his own search.
Stephanos, who went looking for the boys in his own boat, counters in his motion that it is “patently reasonable” for a parent, especially a parent without custody, to look for a child before phoning 911.

It’s been 3 years since Austin and Perry set out into the Atlantic. It’s a very sad case and even though they are presumed to have perished they remain listed as missing children. They would be turning 18 later this year. I hope they can be recovered in some way or resolution can be brought.

 

[Mysteries1974]

I followed this case a few months after they disappeared.

 

[Mysteries1974]

How come they aren’t on the Charley project? They are listed on the doe network and the National center for missing and exploited children.

 

[Mysteries1974]

I just emailed the manager of Charley to add their case files.

Perry J. Cohen – The Charley Project

Austin Blu Stephanos – The Charley Project

The boys case files have been added to the Charley project!

I hope there bodies can be found. I always theorized that they survived and were stranded on an island somewhere.

 

[Mysteries1974]

I’ve always had a few theories on this specific case:

1. They were stranded out at sea and their bodies are somehwhere between Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, the Bahamas, and Bermuda

2. They met with foul play, by foul play I mean that maybe they were stuck in the storm and someone helped them escape sea and then abducted them and took them to another location outside of the U.S.

3. They got stranded on an island with amnesia and do not know who they are and how to get back to their parents. If they were stranded on an island with other people living on it then maybe those people helped them adapt to their new home.

4. They may have gotten stranded in Georgia.

5. Maybe one of them lived and the other perished

I am not saying that any of this was true but I just wanted to make my theories on this case public.

 

[Tssiemer]

I don’t know why but I’ve always felt #5 was viable and the other one just felt like he couldn’t come back due to that. I had a dream to this extent several years ago.

Same! I had a dream about it 2 nights ago!

 

[Mysteries1974]

I think they are still alive for some reason.

 

[Mysteries1974]

It’s 2019, on July 24th it will be 4 years since the boys set out into the Atlantic and never returned

 

[Mysteries1974]

I have considered all possible theories on this case and here they are:

1.) the boys got lost at Sea and lived for an extended period of time until Pershing

2.) the boys survived the storm and got stranded somewhere else in the US

3.) the boys were caught in the storm and Someone else fishing helped them out of the ocean and then kidnapped them

4.) They boys may have traveled to the Bahamas

 

[Mysteries1974]

I’ve always thought that the boys survived the storm. There are a lot of canals in Florida. Maybe they should check them
